Providence Digs—Designing Infrastructural Soil for Grounded Urbanism

Abstract

Emerging from the rubbles of a dismantled highway corridor and a post-industrial landscape, Providence Digs Park creates new sensory, cultural, and spatial experiences by designing a healthy soil landscape within the city. PROVIDENCE DIGS is an exploration of urban soil as a design frontier. This project demonstrates a deep understanding of urban soils as they relate to ecosystem functions, cultural uses, and human experiences that can lead designers to create resilient and beautiful urban landscapes.
